Chicken Tinga Tacos
Shredded chicken simmered in smoky chipotle-tomato sauce, piled high with crema and avocado.



Step 1
Season the chicken tinga tacos well and bring it to room temperature while you prep the aromatics.
Step 2
Build the base: cook the onion, garlic, and spices until fragrant and softened.
Step 3
Add the chicken tinga tacos and cook through, letting it take on color and absorb the seasoning.
Step 4
Rest briefly, adjust salt and acid, and finish with fresh herbs before serving.
Tip from the test kitchen
Read the whole method before you start and get your prep done first. Taste as you go -- salt and acid are levers you pull throughout, not just at the end.
